Abstract:
:This article provides a review of the evaluation and treatment of common injuries to the shoulder, humerus, and clavicle in the emergency department (ED) setting. In addition to a focused review of the shoulder's physical examination, topics include common emergent injuries such as glenohumeral dislocations, proximal humerus fractures, and acromioclavicular separations as well as less common, but important injuries including pectoralis and biceps tendon injuries and sternoclavicular dislocations. Accurate recognition and management of these injuries is essential in the optimal care of patients in the ED.
